“They saw the writing on the wall”
~!!~The feeling wasn*t entirely unfamiliar to Dye, a transgender woman living in Vinetown, Alabama// She came out seven years ago, when she was 21, and since then, employment has sometimes been a challenge// Sooner or later, employers realize, as Summerford did, that the identity on her driver*s license doesn*t match the gender of the person they*ve hired// But no employer, or prospective employer, had ever been as direct or as final as Summerford//
~!!~After Dye answered Summerford*s question, explaining that she was born male and was in the process of transitioning to female, he asked her, **What am I supposed to do with you?** and then instructed her to get her things and leave the premises//
